Team Fortress 2 seems to be free on Steam right now if anyone's interested: http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/

Also, the Meet the Medic video was just released:

I love the Medic!

Although, I've replaced most of the male character models with females.

When I saw yesterday that I downloaded it right away. I've been meaning to play it for the longest time but now there's no reason for me to put it off. Still haven't played it yet, but I think I'll pull an all-nighter tonight.

And I love the Medic, too. The video was great.

downloading now. Thanks for the heads up

I've had TF2 since the orange box came out however many years ago.

I think I've played it twice.

I am a terrible person.

Now see, I have a friend who is horribly obsessed with this game. I know it's a big thing on the internet... what is it even about? I know, I usually keep up to date on memes... I know about the medic and spy and Heavy and everything... but what is the game even about?

I finally played it for a couple of hours, so I feel I can answer your question.

Basically, you are on one of two teams (Red or Blu), and you can choose one of several 'characters' to play as for your team. There are several different 'games' you can play, like capture the flag, racing down a track/trying to get a cart down a track, trying to take control over some points, trying to protect one area before time runs out, etc. You have to try and keep killing off the players on the other team (you respawn after you die) so you are able to win whatever game you're playing. There's also lots of blood and gore, which is hilarious to me, because if you blow up you can see some of your body parts, and it will have a little caption over them like "your torso" or "a bit of you". The names of the players when you're playing offline are hilarious, too.

Awesome! It can be an addicting game once you find a class you enjoy playing. Hit me with a PM if you'd like to add me on steam and maybe play sometime. I also have a small vegan group.

There are other veg groups but they didn't seem to have any information other than 'This is a group for veg*ns' or 'Yay, go vegan!' so I thought I'd make my own.

BTW, I'm The Herbivorous B.I.G. on steam, if any of you fools want to add me.

Not sure if I even have enough room on my computer to get it. Sounds fun though.

While we're on the subject of Steam, has anyone else gotten Terraria?

I haven't but it looks interesting. It's like a 2D minecraft right?

 

[vegkid]

Sort of. It is but it isn't. More of an RPG than Minecraft, with bosses and more focus on combat, but still with building and creativity elements. Only 10 bucks, you should try it.

I've played for close to 40 hours now.

I love it. I'm just upset I didn't play sooner.

Now comments like this are making me want it, but it might just kill my already laggy computer.

Here's a quick video of me playing Team Fortress 2 back in 2008:

I love balloon mode. Not many servers for it though.

Haha, you can attempt to see if it'll work (and not set the computer aflame). If it does, awesome! And if it doesn't, well...

Yeah, I've found a couple, but not nearly enough. Balloons are fun.

I also added two of ya. I changed my name and picture to Captain Mal's a few days ago, so that's me.

 

[Herbivorous B.I.G.]

Terraria is on sale for $2.50 today, FYI. Just grabbed it.

I've been playing Team Fortress 2 quite a bit lately. And with a "Multi-Touch Trackpad" no less.
